Thanks Rick, yes, everyone who cares about this issue must reach out to their elected official and request that this bill be supported and passed. I am also working on an online petition and am speaking with Friends of Animals about this. Cannot get to it until Monday, but it will be up and I will let everyone know when it is.
I would like to see this practice one day banned across the US. From the Wolf Derby to the Squirrel Slam to the Rattlesnake Roundup and SnapperFest, along with the others involving prairie dogs, pigeons and coyotes among other animals, there is just no need to promote this type of mindset and culture - killing for fun. It is despicable. Stella "Conservation is sometimes perceived as stopping everything cold, as holding whooping cranes in higher esteem than people. It is up to science to spread the understanding that the choice is not between wild places or people, it is between a rich or an impoverished existence for Man."

If we as a birding community want to see this through I urge members of this list-serve to attach the press release to an email and send it along with your thoughts to your own state legislators. I just did. Thank you for you consideration.
